The regular monthly meeting of the above i Board was held in the County Council I Chambers yesterday afternoon, when there I were present: Messrs Lewis (in the chair), 1 Dunlop, Coleman, and Taylor. i The Secretary said that after the month's accounts had been paid there would only be a credit balance in the Bank of £35 16. 6d. He considered that if theexpanditure continued 1 as at present the Board would b. compelled to apply for extra contribution, from the local bodies. The monthly report showed: Outdoor relief, 14 adults. 46 children Oatiide Institutions : 2 adults, 7 children. Old Men's Home, 3. Cost for the month, £33 17. 6d. The Secretary said that one of the inmate, at the Old Men'. Homs, named Buroh, was causing a great deal of annoy.no. to tha other men. Buroh wanted the Board to allow him 10s per week and be would be willing to leave the refuge. Mr Dunlop thought that Buroh w.e quite *« capable to work and should not be now 1 receiving relief. 1 Mr Coleman eaid it was a pity they could V not put a law in force to make a man like that break stone.. It was deoided to inform Buroh that th. Board would decline to support him after a fortnight. With regard to Mre Hill, the Chairmen ■tated that her brother in Napier had agreed to keep her, bnt he thought that tome arrange, ment might be made eo that he would keep her until Hill was liberated.
